Does anyone know where Mike has been? I miss his advice here. He has not updated his blog in a while either.

Hi guys! Just like a bad penny - I'm back. I appreciate your concern and to answer the question of where I've been, I've been involved in a Jihad! Here's the story.

A couple of years ago, the city where I live started extorting landlords for unpaid tenant water bills. The city actually took us to court and sued us for bills that belonged to our tenants. Several of the local landlords decided that we would not be extorted and we joined forces to fight the city. To make a very long story short, this has moved all the way up to Federal District Court and it looks like we are about to win. In addition, I have become involved with a couple of other small groups that fought a city tax levy, which was nothing more than an attempt to extort the taxpayers. We've been very busy and to date, we defeated the tax levy; we humiliated our disgraceful mayor who was running for judge (he lost with only 18% of the vote); we humiliated a disgraceful assistant law director who was also running for judge (he lost with only 20% of the vote); we were going to recall the mayor, until he decided not to run for re-election; our group was instrumental in convincing 3 other disgraceful city council members to not run for re-election; and we're now involved in a fight to replace the rest of the disgraceful city council members, the law director, and to have control of the local water department taken away from the city. In other words, I've been very busy.

In addition to all that, I worked on the campaigns for several of our Ohio congressmen and I'm part of the local tea party. Moreover, I've been very busy trying to get "restaurant carry" (carrying a concealed handgun in establishments that serve alcohol) passed here in Ohio.

With the little time I have left over, I'm still running my rentals and still dealing with my share of scumbag tenants, druggies, and felons.
